Scam on the Cam

(3) 4-6 Sesame Seade Mystery series. Illustrated by Sarah Horne. Grade-school sleuth Sophie Seade (whose nickname, "Sesame," is only the tip of the wordplay iceberg) suspects foul play when multiple members of the Cambridge rowing team fall ill; missing pirate treasure deepens the mystery. Sophie's aggressively dry sensibility may have mostly niche appeal, but the tart British humor lands, and the plot unfolds at just the right level for readers to join the puzzle-solving.
